| Adam, why did you remove your response [1] to the hijacking of Atom packages from the Kite blog? Kite was collecting usage data without consent through an unrelated and popular Sublime Text package [2], and they've sent the data to an IP address instead of a domain name, presumably to conceal their involvement. Kite has also transferred private package names to that IP address. When they were discovered, Adam Smith has said that they've forgot that the data collection was taking place [3], after having paid the maintainer of the package to send data to Kite. This is on top of Kite covertly buying up popular Atom packages to push their service on developers. [4] I'm surprised their domain wasn't banned from HN, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that Kite can act maliciously whenever it's in their interest.
